Why do I have to remove Adobe Acrobat in order to link pdf files using Preview?

Whenever I try to link pdfs to make a single file, Adobe Acrobat opens automatically and prevents me from linking them, instead demanding that I pay money for a subscription. Instead, I have to remove Adobe, at which point I can open Preview, and then I can link the files.
Is there any way to link documents without having to remove and then reinstall Adobe?
I have an iMac 10.6.8 and the latest Adobe that will install.

  • Which version of Adobe Acrobat is needed to read .pdf files on the iPhone?

    I have Blackbaud's iBBDemo4.exe iPhone simulator for Windows XP. I'm trying to view/read various .pdf files with it. I received an error message that says, "file uses a new format that is not supported by the current version of Acrobat." Does anyone know which Acrobat version is needed for .pdf files on the iPhone and/or iPhone simualtor?

    The iPhone has it's own built in PDF reader, and doesn't need Adobe Reader. So if your simulator software isn't working then I suggest you contact Blackbaud's support. Besides, Adobe doesn't make an iPhone version of Reader.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 can't make pdf files in 2003 Word

    Hello, Can you help me?
    I purchased Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro four years ago when I went onto Windows 7 as I needed the 64 bit version. Prior to this I had Adobe Acrobat 7.
    Recently I have been unable to make PDF files in Word although it is working in all the other Word applications and through the HP scanner.
    It also won’t make PDF files through the Adobe programme and comes up with the message “Missing PDF files”and the repair command fails to save the problem.
    I am using Word 2003 but prior to now the programme has worked without a problem.
    Can you tell me how to solve the problem as I need the facility as I manage numerous websites for different charities.
    My serial number is 1118-1780-5717-0649-5947-1289 and I am reluctant to unload the programme incase I can’t reload it.
    I have tried to load Acrobat 7 onto my laptop which still has Windows Vista on it.  The serial number for this is 1016-1284-2194-6099-0208-1387 but it refuses to activate this.  Can you advise me on this ?
    I am desperate..
    Many thanks, Sheila

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro failed to print pdf file

    I downloaded adobe acrobat pro and started the 30 trial version just a few minutes ago.
    I could open files through adobe acrobat and convert word files to pdf, but when i tried converting a publisher file it could not go through. An error popped up which read "Adobe PDF printer failed to print pdf file".
    The publisher file I am hoping to convert to pdf is a 21 page panorama article. It contains lots of images and a variety of font types.
    I do not know other alternatives for solving this issue.
    Your help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you!
    Erik

    It seems to be that Adobe Acrobat virtual printer is not properly installed on your PC or you are not selecting Adobe PDF printer to print PDF document. Checkout the below screen shot to see proper printer.
    After trying this if you have same problem you may trt some other virtual printer that easily convert or print any file as PDF, you may checkout here.

  • Will Standard Edition of Adobe Acrobat allow password protection for PDF files or do I need to purchase Acrobat Pro?

    I need to password protect PDF files in an office environment. I was wondering if I need Adobe Acrobat Pro or would the Standard Edition suffice? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • What does a adobe acrobat plugin does while displaying PDF file in IE?

    I want the PDF file's data when it a PDF is opened in IE.
    How can I do this using c#.
    The  COM reference AcroIEHelper.dll is added in  my project.
    ACROIEHELPERLib.AcroIEHlprObjClass acroIEHlpr = new ACROIEHELPERLib.AcroIEHlprObjClass();
    acroIEHlpr  is an Object element. From this how can I retrieve the information of PDF opened in IE.
    How can I get the text of that PDF file?

    hi WDWPhishFan,
    Have you looked at [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]] and [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]?
    The first article has a lot of good troubleshooting steps that might help. The second article actual lists a couple of plugins that can be used for opening PDF files. I'd give both of them a try just in case.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Why won't Firefox launch Acrobat in order to read pdf files from a website?

  • How can i create a hyperlink annotation on a pdf file using preview? the tool is removed from the toolbar

    It seems that the tool to create an hyperlink on a pdf file is removed from the toolbar!

    In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
    The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

    because every tome i want to oppen an image there is a risk it would take a minnute or two

    In the finder right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents, find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desk top. Do NOT make any other changes of any sort. Launch iPhoto and you will Be fine. Open the import(ing) folder and if there are any photos in it you need import them to iPhoto then trash the imoort(ing) folder.

  • Problems in Adobe Reader when I open a pdf file

    I have problems in Adobe Reader when I open a pdf file, the menu bar appears blank without options and when I pass the mouse over the bar she disappears. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader and to no avail. Could anyone help in this case.

    That is the old version that causes the problem; you need to update to the latest version (15.0.2.361).

  • I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

    I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

    Hi m_karhulinna,
    If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
    (It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
    Best,

  • I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

    I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

    I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
    As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

  • Why cannot I distribute forms in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (when following directions)?

    Why cannot I distribute forms in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (when following directions)?

    Hello,
    When you try to open Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, the application returns the error "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
    Please try to do one of the following solutions:
    * Open another Creative Suite 3 application first.
    *Open any other Creative Suite 3 application and follow the on-screen instructions to enter a serial number and activate your software. Then open Acrobat 8 Professional.
    But if you have MAC OS - Move the Acrobat, Adobe PCD, and Adobe PDF folders.
    Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
    In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
    Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
    Acrobat
    Adobe PCD
    Adobe PDF
         Important: Do not delete these folders.
      4.  Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
      5.  Enter your serial number when prompted.
    Hope this one could help.
